As we get ready to celebrate our nation’s birthday this week, there are signs of patriotism everywhere.

American flags are flying, fireworks shows are being set up and barbecues planned. All are signs of a love for our country and are excellent ways to celebrate our nation’s birthday and independence.

I’ve got another suggestion of how you can demonstrate your patriotism. If you aren’t registered to vote, get yourself to the county clerk’s office this week to do so.

Voting is on my mind for a few reasons. The November General Election is heating up, especially in the governor’s race. Locally, the race for Joliet mayor – which isn’t on the ballot until April 2015 – is gaining traction too. And during my vacation last week, I registered to vote at the DMV while there to change the address on my driver’s license.

Voting is an issue I’m passionate about, and this won’t be the last time you read me writing about the importance of making your voice heard.

As a journalist, I heard numerous complaints about politics and policies in the

VIEWS Kate Schott communities I’ve covered.

Most of those concerns are valid. But every Election Day, toward the end of the night when vote totals come in, my blood boils a little when turnout is calculated. In elections that don’t include the president, voter turnout often doesn’t even hit 25 percent.

It’s hard to listen to complaints when so few people are interested in the process of electing policymakers in the first place.

In the March primary, only 60,719 of Will County’s 389,369 registered voters cast a ballot. That’s 15.59 percent turnout, according to the Will County Clerk’s website. Over in Grundy County, 5,740 of that county’s 29,795 registered voters visited the ballot box, or 19.26 percent, according to the Grundy County Clerk’s website.

In the April 2013 election, turnout in Will County was 18.13 percent, and in Grundy was 21.76 percent.

Dismal.

What we need to see is what happened in the November 2012 General Election, when 71.25 percent of Will County’s registered voters, and 69.5 percent of Grundy County’s registered voters, showed up at the polls.

Think of all the countries where voting isn’t a birthright for its citizens. They cherish the right if it’s ever granted to them and wait for hours to cast a ballot. In our state, with early voting options, you have almost a month to vote in most elections. And too often, too few show up to do their most basic civil duty.

Election Day may seem a long way off. But in order for you to cast a ballot in the General Election, you need to register to vote. Find out more about how to register at your county clerk websites. Will County is at www.thewillcountyclerk.com, and Grundy County is www.grundyco.org/ departments/county-clerk-recorder/county-clerk.

Speaking of the governor’s race ...

Bruce Rauner, the Republican nominee for governor, was in Joliet on Friday to talk to

Congressman: Joliet native among men freed from Honduras prison

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com and The Associated Press Six American men, including one who grew up in the Joliet area, who had been detained for weeks in Honduras after being accused of violating weapons laws were released from prison Thursday, a U.S. congressman said.

U.S. Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick, a Republican from Pennsylvania, said in a statement that the six men were “in the process of traveling back to the United States and being reunited with their families.”

One of the six men is Steve Matanich, who grew up in Joliet, Mokena and New Lenox, his sister has previously confirmed to The Herald-News.

Valerie Smith of Joliet learned of her brother’s re-

lease on Friday, although she hasn’t been able to speak to him yet. The group has been on the ocean for about 30 hours, traveling back to Florida, Smith said Saturday afternoon.

“I won’t be happy until he’s back in the U.S.,” Smith said. She said she plans to head down to Florida on Thursday.

Smith said she was concerned about her brother’s health.

Fitzpatrick said he visited the men in Honduras on Monday and had been involved since May in efforts to release them. He said one of the men, Devon Butler, is the son of a constituent.

The crewmen from Florida-based Aqua Quest International were put in a prison in Puerto Lempira on May 5,

after Honduran police and sailors raided their newly arrived 65-foot vessel and found a weapon, according to the shipwreck salvage and research company.

The company said the crew was working on a project with aid workers and officials in the town of Ahuas to help local lobster divers, who can suffer permanent damage from dives as deep as 150 feet.

Ahuas is a Miskito Indian town in an impoverished Honduran region often exploited by drug traffickers.

The area has been targeted by joint U.S.-Honduran anti-drug missions.

In addition to Matanich and Butler, those detained were Michael Mayne, Nick Cook, Kelly Garrett and company president Robert Mayne.

members of the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry. The chamber said it has invited the sitting governor, Democrat Pat Quinn, to speak to its members as well, and is hoping to set up that appearance for September.

I’ll reiterate that invitation to our sitting governor: Joliet is the fourth-largest city in the state. We deserve some of your time. I hope both candidates visit our area numerous times between now and November, and provide us with insight and details as to how they will turn our state around if elected.

I’m starting to sketch out how we at The Herald-News and Morris Daily Herald are going to cover November’s election. I’d love to hear from readers as to what you’d like to see us include.

Thank you for reading The Herald-News.

Crowds undeterred by warm weather; enjoy the music, the food, the rides “We had a great crowd last night. It was our biggest night since last year’s Hunter Hayes concert, and we at least equaled that.”

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Saturday was everything you wanted in a summer festival: music cranked all the way up, tons of diet-busting foods, lots of hairy carnival rides and sun.

Plenty of sun.

The thermometer was pushing 87 degrees by mid-afternoon Saturday at the Taste of Joliet. It was hot and humid, but no one seemed to mind. A few storm clouds pushing in from the southeast passed by without a drop.

“Looks like the rain is going to miss us today,” Dominic Egizio, executive director of the Joliet Park District, said. “We just take it one day at a time because every day we get a different forecast. At one point, it was supposed to rain all day today.”

Concerns about the heat led the district to provide bottles of cold water to the early crowd milling around the stage in the reserved section.

Ray Palacios, an EMS with the Joliet Fire Department, said fans appeared to be holding up well under the heat.

The only incident he said he was aware of Friday night was of a fan supposedly hit by a drumstick thrown into the crowd at the end of the concert.

While Saturday was a bit of a scorcher, Friday night was perfect for headliner Sammy Hagar.

“We had a great crowd last night,” Egizio said, which he estimated at 15,000 to 20,000 people. “It was our biggest night since last year’s Hunter Hayes concert, and we at least equaled that.”

Saturday was country day, with fans – mostly female – piling in starting at noon for Dan + Shay, Eric Paslay, Brett Eldredge and Thompson Square.

“I saw Dan + Shay about a week ago and they were awesome,” Stephanie Winston,

It’s great to have this kind of country music so close to home.”

Dan + Shay kicked off the afternoon with their rendition of the Guns N’ Roses classic, “Paradise City.”

“Got a lot of pretty girls here,” cooed Dan, or possibly Shay.

Meanwhile, the festival’s 28 vendors continued serving up a host of concoctions fried, grilled, steamed, roasted or frozen.

The big seller at Suzie’s Fine Foods was Texas-style fries, complete with cheese and jalapenos.

Owner Chris Shupinke was impressed by the nice, friendly crowds. And while a lot of rock fans turned out Friday, he thought Saturday’s turnout might be even bigger.

“It’s a country crowd, absolutely,” Shupinke, a Joliet native, said. “Crest Hill, Mor-

ris, Coal City, Wilmington, they all feed into here.”

Over at Enjoi Café Bakery, salted caramel cupcakes, lemon raspberry cupcakes and individual cherry pies have proved to be the fan favorites, vendor Cassie Norman said.

It’s the first year for the bakery, which is based in downtown Morris. Norman said business has been steady, but really picks up at night.

Joliet firefighter Steve Rutten was busy handing out corn on the cob, dipped in butter, a tradition at the festival since it started nine years ago. Proceeds from sales go to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

“Last night they said they did 25 to 30 crates of corn,” Rutten said.

Dawn Kenny of K&D Treats can deep fry just about

anything you want: Twinkies, brownies, bananas, pickles and candy bars are all on the menu.

Her biggest seller? Vegetables. “We’re known for our fried veggies,” Kenny said.

She expected her biggest crowds would come later in the day, after dinner and most of the concerts were finished.

“At the end of the night, it’s insane here,” Kenny said.

But not everyone came for the food, and not everyone came for the concerts.

Logan Reuter, 4, of Joliet came for the carnival. His dad, Ryan, had just won him a 6-foot-long inflatable baseball bat by ringing the bell with a sledgehammer.

“We’re going to take the kids home and come back later for the music,” Ryan Reuter confided.

“C’mon dad, let’s go,” Logan said.

Joey Tyree of Joliet was getting set to take his son, Cole, on The Zipper, one of the more intimidating rides on the midway.

“I loved The Zipper. I remember riding it when I was a kid,” Tyree said. “You bang your head a lot, but it’s a lot of fun.”

The festival continues at Joliet Memorial Stadium, 3000 W. Jefferson St., from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday, with entertainment by Radio Disney, Skinny Williams and American English.

GOP candidate Rauner makes stop in Joliet

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet was the center of attention Friday for the Republican candidate for governor.

Bruce Rauner, as well as running mate Evelyn Sanguinetti, was in town to talk to members of the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry during a luncheon at the Jacob Henry Mansion Estate. He maintained optimism during his speech to chamber members, noting his lead in the polls, but also said polls mean nothing if people don’t vote in the election.

Rauner spoke to the crowd of business leaders about state government’s “hostility to businesses,” promising to recruit companies to Illinois, rather than pushing them out with “bad policies” and “over-regulation.”

“I’m here to go to work for you,” Rauner said.

Rauner received several rounds of applause from the crowd when he spoke of his call for legislative term limits and his refusal to take a salary and pension as governor. He said he would fight for tax rate reductions, workers compensation reform and other business-friendly initiatives.

ABOVE, RIGHT: Steve Tisza holds a sign for drivers to see as he protests Friday outside the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry luncheon that featured a speech by Rauner. About a dozen people gathered outside the luncheon to protest as people were entering.

CEO Russ Slinkard said he was pleased the Joliet business community had a chance to meet the candidate ahead of the November election.

But he said he would have liked some details on how Rauner would make his plans a reality.

“We heard basically the same thing we’ve been hearing from him in television interviews and radio interviews ... that the state is driving business away and that we’ve got to change that,” Slinkard said.

“There was nothing specific on what his plan would be. It’s

what we expected. That’s usually what you get.”

Small crowd protests Rauner visit About a dozen protesters stationed themselves Friday outside the Jacob Henry Mansion, where they handed out fliers denouncing Rauner’s business record and accused the candidate of killing jobs and being involved with companies that shipped jobs overseas.

They could be heard chanting things like “Rauner used NAFTA, workers got the shaft-a!” – alluding to his in-

vestment firm’s ties to companies that shipped jobs overseas to spin a profit. Others were holding signs reading “Bankrupt Bruce” and “Rauner wiped out USA jobs.”

“He says he’ll run this state like a business. We don’t want him running our state like one of his businesses,” said Neal Waltmire, communications director for the union-backed Illinois Freedom PAC, which organized the event.

Term limits setback Rauner arrived in Joliet about the same time a Cook

County judge ruled that his campaign-centered ballot initiative calling for legislative term limits was unconstitutional.

Following his speech, Rauner held a brief press conference, where he spoke to media of his plans to fight the judge’s ruling that prevents his term-limit initiative from appearing on the November ballot.

Rauner has centered much of his campaign message around his push for legislative term limits.

Recent deaths reflect the hazards of summer fun in the water

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com Recent tragedies serve as a warning on just how hazardous summer fun can be when it involves swimming pools, lakes or rivers.

According to the American Red Cross, 80 percent of people plan to go to the beach, pool, water park, go on a boat or fish this summer.

A few of those excursions locally have already turned tragic.

The most recent incident happened last weekend when Emily A. Hendricks, 24, of

Wheaton drowned after a boating accident on the Illinois River at the Dresden Dam near Coal City. Three other people were rescued.

It was the third local drowning this month.

On June 15, Liam Vaughn, 3, of Rockford drowned in a backyard pool in Morris during a party when he was with several adults and other children. The Grundy County Coroner’s Office reported Liam’s parents performed CPR immediately, but the boy did not survive.

On June 3, Dean Fredericks, 20, of Morris, was canoe-

ing with three friends on the Kankakee River when their boat overturned near the Des Plaines Conservation Area in Wilmington. His friends were able to reach different shores on their own, but rescue divers found Fredericks’ body later that night.

State law requires boats to carry one life jacket for every person on board and children under 13 must wear them at all times.

“We want everyone to be safe. It is something we check and most people follow the rules,” Will County Forest Preserve Police Lt. Tracy

Phillips said. While swimming isn’t allowed, several preserves allow boats up to 18 feet long.

“Most of the time they’re occupied by one or two adult fisherman, who aren’t wearing life jackets, but do have them,” Phillips said.

A recent national survey shows people believe they are better swimmers than they actually are. While four out of five people say they are able to swim, only 56 percent of “swimmers” can perform all five basic skills that can save their lives, according to a news release from the Amer-

ican Red Cross.

The ability to step or jump in water above your head, come back up and tread water for a minute, turn around in a circle, swim 25 yards and get out of the water without a ladder is considered essential for “water competency,” according to the Red Cross.

The survey said 40 percent of parents reported their children have the five basic swimming skills, but 92 percent said their child will likely participate in water activities this summer.

Old Campground Festival has a long history New Lenox summer event reflects Methodist roots

By DAWN AULET Shaw Media Correspondent NEW LENOX – The Old Campground Festival held Saturday in New Lenox has been going on for nearly four decades, but the festival grounds have a much longer history.

The natural area off U.S. Route 30 has been a church campground for 150 years, according to Chuck Baird, a member of the United Methodist Church of New Lenox.

The grounds were owned by the United Methodist Church North East Conference, and every year religious camp meetings took place on the grounds.

Those events lasted 10 days to 2 weeks and originally attendees camped in tents, but eventually in cabins. The only remaining structure on the land is the Boy Scout cabin.

In the 1970s, the local group

purchased the land and they began the Old Campground Festival a couple years later.

“We have the festival to bring our community together,” said Bobbie Baird, Chuck Baird’s wife and publicity chair for the festival this year.

The 39th annual Old Campground Festival held Saturday brought a variety of vendors and crafters. There was entertainment, too, which changed every hour.

Lisa Balstrode owns a handmade doll clothing business called M and Em. She attended the fest as a child when her mother, Caroline Blair, used to participate.

“It’s something to do that’s close to home,” the New Lenox resident said. “My mom and I have always done crafts.”

Vendor Pat Battaglia, who owns A and B Buyouts, has been a vendor for a number of years.

“It’s a great fest,” he said.

“It’s run perfectly. The people who run it can’t be nicer.”

The event is designed to bringtogethertheUnitedMethodist Church of New Lenox congregation and to celebrate the history of the campground land. But the festival is open to the community as well.

Karen Larson is not a member of the church, but she is a resident of New Lenox. She came with her two children, Nathan, 7, and Nicole, 10. She thinks her children probably enjoyed the “Magic Illusion” show with magician Terry Murphy best.

“They love magic,” she said.

Susan Reyelts is a congregation member and she appreciates the opportunity to share the history of the land, especially the Boy Scout cabin, with her children.

“I think it just helps with my children to help them to understand history,” she said.

Doctors, police set for fireworks do-it-yourselfers Injuries, arrests come with the Fourth of July

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com

Dr. John Williamson Firecrackers and gunshots sound a lot alike. Sometimes they can do the same amount of damage.

Unless you’re a commercial pyrotechnician, state law prohibits buying or using all fireworks except for sparklers and non-explosive “novelties” such as smoking snakes and poppers. Iowa is the only other state in the country with such restrictions.

“And we probably see more burns from sparklers than anything else ... because they’re legal fireworks,” Dr. John Williamson said.

Williamson, an emergency physician at Morris Hospital, said the hospital sees several fireworks-related injuries each year as Independence Day approaches.

“A lot of people who set them off don’t realize how hot they get and how dangerous they are. Anything that’s shot up in the air can explode,” Williamson said.

Burns are the most common, but doctors also see numerous hand wounds. One area man lost an eye a few years ago after setting off a roman candle, Williamson said.

Will County Sheriff’s

emergency physician at Morris Hospital

spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said summer celebrations turn tragic when safety precautions aren’t followed.

“The best way to protect you and your family against injuries or law enforcement violations is to leave the fireworks to the professionals by attending public fireworks displays and events,” she said.

Hoffmeyer said deputies will be patrolling “out in full force” and will immediately confiscate any illegal fireworks.

Setting off illegal fireworks in Will County is considered a public nuisance and carries a fine ranging from $150 to $1,000.

Morris Police Chief Brent Dite said the city receives an increase in complaints in the days leading up to July Fourth.

“It’s the illegal ones [making] loud noises and bangs that get reported – usually right after dark,” Dite said.

AND SHIRT LAUNDRY

• FIREWORKS Continued from page 8 Channahon Police Chief Jeff Wold said officers usually arrive to find incriminating debris in the street, but no suspects in the first evenings of July.

But on the night itself, extra officers are on patrol from when the park district fireworks show ends until about 2 a.m. to investigate complaints, Wold said. Channahon will have even more police out this year since there will likely be more parties than usual with

the Fourth falling on a Friday and starting off a holiday weekend.

“I think it’s an equal split between teenagers with bottle rockets and adults with expensive fireworks that would rival the park district’s show,” Wold said.

Any unused fireworks found by officers are confiscated and later turned over to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

“Just save your money from the illegal purchase and potential fine. The free [community] shows are better and safer,” Wold suggested.

with Gov. Quinn’s office • RAUNER Continued from page 4 “We want the will of the people to move forward and we’re going to pursue an appeal.

We’ll appeal all the way to the Supreme Court. We think that term limits are a very important initiative,” Rauner said.

“We believe the voters deserve a choice about term limits.”

Reporters also questioned him about his daughter’s acceptance into an elite Chicago school despite her grades not being up to par.

The inspector general for the Chicago Public Schools said Thursday that Rauner’s daughter was not qualified to be admitted into the school and wasn’t on the principal’s discretion list, as Rauner has stated on several times. Rauner maintained Friday his daughter was qualified, calling the issue a “distraction” created by his opponent, Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn.

Joliet chamber officials are in talks with Quinn’s office to invite the Democrat incumbent to a luncheon ahead of the November election.

‘Always be aware,’ fire chief says • SAFETY Continued from page 4 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports an average of 10 people die from drowning every day.

For every child who dies from drowning, another five receive emergency treatment for submersion injuries.

Channahon Fire Chief John

Petrakis said the increase in water activity during summer weather should lead to increased vigilance.

“I certainly encourage anyone with a pool or home near a body of water to always be aware when anyone is nearby,” Petrakis said. “I think we’re a little more comfortable in our homes, but we turn our backs for 60 seconds and it turns into an emergency incident.”

LASALLE COUNTY – A former Morris man took his life Thursday after trying to escape from police.

LaSalle County Sheriff Tom Templeton said deputies were attempting to arrest Joseph R. Sipple, 27, on charges of possession of stolen property. The confrontation occurred about 1:30 p.m. at a residence south of Sheridan in the northeastern part of the county.

“We received information he was at the residence where we [later] found the proceeds from various local burglaries,” Templeton said.

But instead of submitting to arrest, Sipple reportedly ran from deputies and went inside a “lean-to” attached to the garage. Templeton said deputies urged Sipple to surrender, but he killed himself with a semi-automatic hand-

“We received information he was at the residence where we [later] found the proceeds from various local burglaries.”

LaSalle County Sheriff gun inside the lean-to.

Sipple was pronounced dead at the scene about 3 p.m. by the LaSalle County Coroner’s office.

Templeton described Sipple as “transient,” but said he had been living at the residence where deputies located him. The former Morris resident has a criminal history that includes charges of domestic battery, aggravated battery to a child, possession of drugs and other charges in Grundy County, according to court records.

my grandparents used,” Bunting said. “The phrase was always the rule of thumb to gauge whether you would have a good crop this year, but now, with technological advancements and the ability to plant more efficiently, it’s really a foregone rule of thumb.”

A new phrase might be needed, she said.

“I heard someone say the other day ‘chest-high by the Fourth of July,’ ” she said.

Farmers aren’t out of the clear yet, she said, noting that with every planting season, conditions can turn on a dime.

“We don’t want the rain to quit. The most important time to receive rainfall is during pollination. That’s in the next three weeks or so,” she said.

“The rain will allow things to bloom.”

The next crop condition report from the USDA is scheduled to be released Monday.

Corn growers, on the other hand, shouldn’t be too worried about the rain, Nugent said. The stalks are high enough now that they won’t be drowned out or damaged by heavy rains, he said.

With corn stalks having reached as high as five or six feet in some areas across the Midwest, that old adage, “Knee-high by the Fourth of July” – a phrase often recited by farmers when gauging crop success – doesn’t mean what it did decades ago.

Tasha Bunting, manager for Grundy County Farm Bureau, said that phrase would now signify that something is wrong with the crop.

“Corn is definitely beyond knee-high. That’s something

NY CS 7181360 BC007 10/12 GP10-01505P-N06/10

Will County Farmer Tom Nugent stood just outside his Manhattan home, impressed.

“I’m looking at a field of corn that is as tall as I am,” said Nugent, who owns a 550acre corn field just south of Manhattan. His 600-acre soybean farm also is doing well, said Nugent, who serves as board president of the Will County Farm Bureau.

Nugent, like other farmers, would not likely be satisfied with corn that was knee-high by the Fourth of July. Nor will they have to be.

After many farmers experienced a late start to spring planting because of unusually cold, wet weather, expectations in the Midwest have improved – for the most part – for both corn and soybean crops.

The Department of Agriculture’s latest crop condition report from June 23 rated 78 percent of Illinois corn as good to excellent, compared with 76 percent the previous week. The same report rated soybeans 73 percent as good to excellent.

Despite the positive report, heavy rains have been a problem for some, particularly when it comes to soybeans, Nugent said.

“If you drive around country roads, you can see these

“Corn is definitely beyond knee-high. That’s something my grandparents used. The phrase was always the rule of thumb to gauge whether you would have a good crop this year, but now, with technological advancements and the ability to plant more efficiently, it’s really a foregone rule of thumb.”

JOLIET – Police allegedly found two people with drugs and a gun Thursday night at Evergreen Terrace.

Cmdr. Al Roechner said at 8:51 p.m. tactical officers went to the parking lot in the 300 block of North Broadway to check for trespassers at Evergreen Terrace and found two people who walked off in opposite directions when they approached.

Kenneth P. Smith, 22, and a 17-year-old boy were detained, but the teen ran when officers attempted to frisk him, Roechner said.

“During the short foot

chase he discarded a handgun on the ground,” Roechner said.

Police also found baggies containing two grams of cocaine and two grams of marijuana in Smith’s pockets, Roechner said.

The juvenile was arrested on charges of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and unauthorized possession of ammunition and booked into the River Valley Juvenile Detention Center.

Smith, of the first block of Bradford Road, was arrested on charges of drug possession, marijuana possession and criminal trespassing and booked into the Will County Jail.

The Regional Transportation Authority filed another lawsuit Friday aimed at preventing sales tax arrangements similar to those Morris and Channahon have with numerous companies housing purchasing offices in their towns.

The RTA, the umbrella organization that oversees the Chicago Transit Authority, the region’s Metra commuter lines and the Pace suburban bus service, is asking a Cook County judge to stop the Illinois Department of Revenue from enforcing its new point of sales rules, which RTA leaders believe exceed the department’s regulatory authority.

“I knew they were going to file a suit. They were talking about it when it passed because they didn’t like these new rules,” Grundy County Board Chairman Ron Severson said.

It’s too soon to say exactly how much revenue will be lost. The Grundy County Board is prepared to lose 10 percent of it’s budget, or $1.8 million annually, while Channahon officials have previously said it receives an average of about $1.5 million a year through the sales tax rebate program.

“We are already planning on us not getting any of this money,” Severson said.

“That’s what we’re factoring into our budget because it’s a good possibility that that ship has sailed.”

Overall, the RTA’s goal is to stop companies from creating small satellite offices outside its boundaries in order to purchase materials at a lower sales tax rate. The sales tax rates are lower in Grundy County – 6.25 percent compared to 9.5 percent

in Cook County – in part because they do not include the sales taxes that support the RTA. In the past four years, the RTA has spent about $1.8 million in legal fees fighting the issue, which leaders believe is costing them tens of millions of dollars a year in sales tax revenue, said Jordan Matyas, the RTA’s chief of staff.

“If that keeps happening, that just means that that burden gets passed on to the riders, whether that be cuts in service, increases in fares,” Matyas said. “It just depends on how big this practice gets and how long it keeps going.”

Matyas believes the lawsuit filed Friday is a matter of interpreting the law and can be resolved quickly, while a spokesman for the state’s Department of Revenue said the department stands by the new rules.

“The state spent five months seeking comments from everyone involved,” spokesman Carson Krislov-Quinn said in a prepared statement. “The rules balance the interests of Illinois’ businesses with the needs of the local and regional governments to collect revenue.

We are confident the rules reflect good policy and are consistent with the governing law.”

Meanwhile, other RTA lawsuits remain pending. In March, the RTA sued American Airlines and Sycamore for operating what it calls a sham office in Sycamore to avoid paying tens of millions of dollars in taxes a year in Chicago. About a year before, the RTA filed a similar lawsuit against United Airlines and Sycamore.

REDISTRICTING REFORM

Campaigners acknowledge flaws

By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press CHICAGO – A group seeking to amend the Illinois constitution to strip politics from the process of drawing legislative boundaries is pledging to refine over the next several years what they acknowledge was a flawed proposal.

Deborah Harrington, the leader of the organization Yes for Independent Maps, has pledged to “put the lessons learned in this campaign and from the judge’s ruling to good use.”

That contrasts with the reaction of another group pushing for a referendum whose term limits proposal was also removed from the ballot Friday

by Cook County Circuit Court

Judge Mary Mikva.

The term limits group chaired by Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner vowed an immediate appeal as it decried what it described as political influence from heavily Democratic Cook County – allegations Democrats dismissed.

But Yes for Independent Maps’ response was reflective of the multifaceted problems with the redistricting proposal, and the amount of time that is still on the group’s side to change the state’s politically driven mapmaking process.

The ballot proposal would have taken the once-a-decade redistricting process out of the hands of lawmakers and created an 11-member commission to draw the boundaries of legis-

lative districts.

The current redistricting process is considered politically prickly, with stalemates between Democrats and Republicans broken when a name drawn from a hat tips the scales in favor of one party to approve their boundaries of choice.

In 2011, Democrats – who continue to control both houses of the Legislature as well as the governor’s mansion – were able to push through a map politically advantageous to the party without any Republican cooperation.

Republicans later sued, claiming the map violated the 1965 Voting Rights Act, but the effort was tossed by a panel of federal judges.

Even before Mikva’s ruling, the Yes for Independent Maps

group, which spent $3 million on the effort over the past two years, ran into problems with the Illinois State Board of Elections. The board questioned the number of valid signatures the group had collected to get the proposal on the ballot, and declined to extend deadlines they had set for the group.

Mikva ruled that one element of the proposed constitutional amendment – prohibiting commissioners from holding elected office for 10 years after being a commissioner – violated a requirement that changes to the constitution must be both structural and procedural by limiting the political activities of the panel members.

However, she said “a differently drafted redistricting ini-

tiative” could have been found valid.

Lawyers involved with the redistricting effort told The Associated Press on Saturday that they considered an appeal, but decided a fresh attempt stood a better chance.

The next redistricting effort will begin following the 2020 census.

“We still have at least two more statewide elections – in 2016 and 2018 – to bring a redistricting amendment before voters and an opportunity to revise the language to address Judge Mikva’s objections,” Harrington said. She noted that redistricting measures other states, including California, required multiple attempts before they became reality.

State VA centers grapple with influx of women ST. LOUIS – Illinois’ Department of Veterans Affairs sites insist they have the resources to tend to the fast-rising ranks of female veterans despite evidence of admitted shortcomings nationally.

While 5.3 million male veterans who used the VA system nationwide in fiscal year 2013 far outnumbered its 390,000 female patients, the number of women receiving care through the VA has more than doubled since 2000 because of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. That surge has further strained the $44 billion VA system, despite an investment of more than $1.3 billion since 2008 on such things as training hundreds of medical professionals on dynamics of treating women.

In Illinois, VA operations based in Marion, Danville and Chicago’s Jesse Brown Medical Center said they treat a combined 8,200 female veter-

ans, with the caseload over the past five years up 50 percent in Marion and 43 percent at Jesse Brown. The Danville VA expects its rolls of female patients to rise an additional 16 to 20 percent by 2019.

The Chicago area’s Edward Hines Jr. VA Hospital didn’t reply to the AP’s request.

Nationally, the AP reported this month, nearly one in four VA hospitals does not have a full-time staff gynecologist, and some 140 of the 920 community-based clinics fell short of the goal that each has a designated women’s health provider.

In Illinois, the Marion VA says it has a full-time gynecologist, while Jesse Brown has two part-time ones. There’s a part-time gynecologist at the Danville VA and a full-time one roughly 100 miles away at the Indianapolis VA. Jesse Brown and Danville also say they have designated women’s health providers at their clinics; the Marion VA

says its lone exception is Effingham clinic, where a gender-specific provider is to be in place next month.

Jenny Garretson, who oversees the women veterans’ program at the Jesse Brown VA, said that site also has three female-designated primary care providers staffing the main hospital, and each clinic has one. There also are clinical pharmacists and a psychiatrist designated for women.

The AP also found that female veterans across the country have been placed on the VA waiting lists for new patients whose appointments cannot be scheduled in 90 days or less. Officials with the Marion, Jesse Brown and Danville VAs said they have no such lists.

“I think we are doing a good job,” said Cindy James, coordinator of women veterans care in Marion, where the number of women veterans seeking treatment has tripled

from 600 since she started there in 1998.

Getting a handle on it required a shift in hiring practices, she said, noting “there’s historically been an issue finding male medical staff comfortable providing care to women” and the services they require, from pap smears to breast exams. But for the past several years at Marion, she said, serving women has been made an expectation of new hires, not an option.

“Clearly, we need to see

this system up to par,” said U.S. Rep. Bill Enyart, a southern Illinois Democrat who once headed the Illinois National Guard. “I’m not sure if there’s a short-term fix, but we certainly have to keep working it. We owe it to our veterans.”

Democratic U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin offered a nod to Illinois’ VA sites, noting each had a women’s services coordinator “sensitive to this” and “trying to respond appropriately.”

Robert “Bob” J. Duranto 1-6-64 6-28-85 It’s been 29 years since God called you home Son, you are always in our hearts and thoughts.

We miss that great smile and your send of humor.

We love you so much, words can’t begin to express it.

Time will never heal our loss of you.

Illinois putting $30M of solar into energy mix

CHICAGO – Illinois will buy up to $30 million worth of solar power and pump it into the energy mix for electricity customers under legislation signed into law Saturday that also promotes the spread of home rooftop panels.

The law, which takes effect immediately, requires the Illinois Power Agency to purchase solar power to meet a portion of the state’s electricity needs. It establishes a competitive process to purchase the energy from new or existing solar installations, which could include rooftop solar panels that homeowners can use to sell any leftover power back to the electricity grid.

“Thousands of residents will soon get cheaper, cleaner energy, and we will create good-paying jobs for working families in the process,” Gov. Pat Quinn said in a news release announce the bill signing.

The Illinois Power Agency was set up in 2007 to develop plans for buying renewable energy for utilities to feed into the grid. The money for the solar power purchases comes from the agency’s Renewable Energy Resources Fund, which is made up of clean energy fees paid by power suppliers.

The measure signed Saturday was sponsored by Democratic state Rep. Robyn Gabel of Evanston and state Sen. Don Harmon, an Oak Park Democrat.

“Over the past few years, we’ve seen wind energy take off in Illinois,” Harmon said.

“I hope that this investment starts a similar revolution in solar energy.”

Firefighters rescue teen who climbed cell tower

CORDOVA – A motorcyclist has died after hitting a deer that darted into the road in western Illinois.

The accident happened Friday afternoon near the village of Cordova in Rock Island County.

The county sheriff’s department tells the Quad-City Times the driver tried to stop but was unable to avoid hitting the deer.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene.

The sheriff’s department is not identifying the man while authorities work to notify his relatives.

NORTHFIELD – Firefighters have rescued a teenager who climbed to the top of a 110foot cellphone tower north of Chicago.

The 18-year-old scaled the tower Friday night in Northfield.

The tower is located just behind the fire station, and residents who heard the teen alerted firefighters.

Assistant Northfield Fire Chief Tom Burke says firefighters lowered the man using a rope and harness and then put him into the basket of an extension ladder to take him the rest of the way to the ground.

The teen was not hurt but was hospitalized in Highland Park as a precaution.

It was not immediately clear what prompted him to climb the tower.

Woman accused of carjacking SUV with boy inside

LANSING – Authorities say a drunken Chicago woman took off in a man’s SUV with his 13-year-old son inside after rear-ending his vehicle on I-80 in northeast Illinois.

Thirty-two-year-old Larona L. Green is accused of driving into Indiana with the boy.

Indiana State Police say the carjacking took place around 5:30 a.m. Saturday near Lansing, Illinois.

Sgt. Kim Riley says after the collision, the driver of the SUV went to check on Green. Riley says that’s when she jumped into the man’s SUV and drove off.

The boy was able to use a cellphone to speak with a police dispatcher and identify landmarks.

A trooper pulled the SUV over on I-94 in Indiana, and Green was arrested.

She’s charged with driving while intoxicated, possession of a stolen vehicle and criminal confinement.

Texas couple gives $1M to SIU for scholarship fund

CARBONDALE – A Texas

couple is paying it forward, having mailed a surprise $1 million check to Southern Illinois University to establish a scholarship fund.

The Carbondale Southern Illinoisan reports Marsha and Gary Bertrand of Austin, Texas, sent the gift to the SIU Foundation.

Foundation CEO Jim Salmo says he was aware the Bertrands were going to donate, but not a cash gift. He calls the mailing a “wonderful surprise.”

The donation will be invested, with those returns used for annual scholarships to middle-income undergraduate students from southern Illinois.

Marsha Bertrand graduated in 1970 from SIU with a business degree and got a master’s degree elsewhere. She said education has been essential in her and her husband’s lives, “and neither of us could have accomplished our career goals without it.”

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Aereo suspends service after Supreme Court ruling NEW YORK – Online-streaming service Aereo Inc. is temporarily closing down its operation, three days after it was dealt an unfavorable ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court.

“We have decided to pause our operations temporarily as we consult with the court and map out our next steps,” Aereo’s Chief Executive Officer Chet Kanojia wrote in a letter to customers posted on its website Saturday.

The Supreme Court dealt Aereo, backed by Barry Diller, a major setback on Wednesday in ruling that the television-over-the-Internet service operates much like a cable TV company. As a result, the service violates copyright law unless Aereo pays broadcasters licensing fees for offering TV stations to customers’ tablets, phones and other gadgets.

Man rows across Atlantic, reaches Caribbean SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – Three times, Victor Mooney tried to row across the Atlantic. Three times he failed. One boat sank. Another lost its freshwater system. A third sprang a leak and left him drifting on a life raft for two weeks. As he planned for a fourth attempt, his wife made it clear it would be the last. Now the 48-year-old Brooklyn native has finally completed the roughly 3,000-mile journey.

Mooney was recovering Saturday in the Dutch Caribbean

island of St. Maarten, a day after reaching shore and ending a 128day ordeal during which he lost 80 pounds.

The trip was fueled by his desire to bring attention to the need for HIV testing and to honor a brother who died of AIDS in 1983.

Pelosi holds little hope for immigration reform BROWNSVILLE, Texas – House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Saturday during a visit to the U.S.-Mexico border that she holds little hope that Congress will pass comprehensive immigration reform this year.

After visiting a Border Patrol facility in Brownsville, the California Democrat said politics should be set aside to address what President Barack Obama has called an “urgent humanitarian situation.”

More than 52,000 unaccompanied children, most from Central America, have been apprehended entering the U.S. illegally since October.

“A few days ago I would have been more optimistic about comprehensive immigration reform,” Pelosi said. “I thought that we had been finding a way because we have been very patient and respectful of [Speaker of the House John Boehner] trying to do it one way or another. I don’t think he gives us much reason to be hopeful now, but we never give up. There’s still the month of July.”

Benghazi suspect pleads not guilty before judge

By MARK SHERMAN, PETE YOST and ERIC TUCKER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The Libyan militant accused of masterminding the deadly Benghazi attacks that have become a flashpoint in U.S. politics appeared briefly for the first time in an American courtroom, pleading not guilty Saturday to a terrorism-related charge nearly two weeks after he was captured by special forces.

In a 10-minute hearing held amid tight security, Ahmed Abu Khattala spoke just two words, both in Arabic. He replied “yes” when asked to swear to tell the truth and “no” when asked if he was having trouble understanding the proceeding.

Abu Khattala became the most recent foreign terror suspect to be prosecuted in American courts, a forum the Obama administration contends is both fairer and more efficient than the military tribunal process used at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The case was being tried in Washington despite concerns from Republicans in Congress who say he should not be entitled to the protections of the U.S. legal system.

A grand jury indictment handed up under seal Thursday and made public Saturday said Abu Khattala participated in a conspiracy to provide material support and resources to terrorists in the attacks of Sept. 11, 2012, that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

That crime is punishable by up to life in prison. The government said it soon would file more charges against Abu Khattala.

During his initial court appearance, the defendant listened via headphones to a translation of the proceedings.

He wore a two-piece black

He looked impassively at U.S. Magistrate Judge John Facciola for most of the hearing. Abu Khattala’s court-appointed lawyer, Michele Peterson, entered the not guilty plea. Facciola ordered the defendant’s continued detention, but the judge did not say where Abu Khattala would be held.

The U.S. Marshals Service said it had taken custody of Abu Khattala, who now was confined to a detention facility in the capital region, ending a harried day for the Libyan.

U.S. special forces captured Abu Khattala in Libya two weeks ago, marking the first breakthrough in the investigation. Officials had been questioning Abu Khattala aboard a Navy ship that transported him to the United States. He was flown early Sat-

urday by military helicopter from a Navy ship to a National Park Service landing pad in the city’s Anacostia neighborhood, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to discuss the transfer publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

A U.S. official said Abu Khattala had been advised of his Miranda rights at some point during his trip and continued talking after that. The official wasn’t authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation by name and spoke on condition of anonymity. The nature of those conversations wasn’t immediately clear.

A criminal complaint filed last year and unsealed after Abu Khattala’s capture charged him with terror-related crimes, including killing a person during an attack on a federal facility. A new, single-count indictment will likely be superseded by additional charges, prosecutors say.

High court poised to decide birth-control dispute

By MARK SHERMAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court is poised to deliver its verdict in a case that weighs the religious rights of employers and the right of women to the birth control of their choice.

The court meets for a final time Monday to release decisions in its two remaining cases before the justices take off for the summer.

The cases involve birth control coverage under President Barack Obama’s health law and fees paid to labor unions representing government employees by workers who object to being affiliated with a union.

Two years after Chief Jus-

tice John Roberts cast the pivotal vote that saved the health care law in the midst of Obama’s campaign for re-election, the justices are considering a sliver of the law.

Employers must cover contraception for women at no extra charge among a range of preventive benefits in employee health plans.

Dozens of companies, including the Oklahoma Citybased arts and crafts chain Hobby Lobby, claim religious objections to covering some or all contraceptives.

The methods and devices at issue before the Supreme Court are those that Hobby Lobby and furniture maker Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp. of East Earl, Pennsylvania, say can work after con-

ception. They are the emergency contraceptives Plan B and ella, as well as intrauterine devices, which can cost up to $1,000.

The Obama administration says insurance coverage for birth control is important to women’s health and reduces the number of unwanted pregnancies, as well as abortions.

The court has never recognized a for-profit corporation’s religious rights under federal law or the Constitution. But even some supporters of the administration’s position said they would not be surprised if the court were to do so on Monday, perhaps limiting the right to corporations that are under tight family control.

Several justices worried at the argument in March that

such a decision would lead to religious objections to covering blood transfusions or vaccinations.

Prominent Washington lawyer Paul Smith said another important question is how the decision would apply to “laws that protect people from discrimination, particularly LGBT people.”

In the Hobby Lobby case, even if the court finds such a right exists, it still has to weigh whether the government’s decision to have employee health plans pay for birth control is important enough to overcome the companies’ religious objections.

It is no surprise that this high-profile case, argued three months ago, is among the last released.

The other unresolved case has been hanging around since late January, often a sign that the outcome is especially contentious.

Home health care workers in Illinois want the court to rule that public sector unions cannot collect fees from workers who aren’t union members. The idea behind compulsory fees for nonmembers is that the union negotiates the contract for all workers, so they all should share in the cost of that work.

The court has been hostile to labor unions in recent years. If that trend continues Monday, the justices could confine their ruling to home health workers or they could strike a big blow against unions more generally.

Mars ‘flying saucer’ splashes down after NASA test

By CHRISTOPHER WEBER The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – A saucer-shaped NASA vehicle testing new technology for Mars

landings rocketed high over the Pacific on Saturday and deployed a novel inflatable braking system, but its massive parachute failed to fully unfurl as it descended to a splash-

down.

Control room cheers that greeted successful steps in the complex test rapidly died as the parachute appeared to emerge tangled.

“Please inform the recovery director we have bad chute,” a mission official ordered.

NASA planned to hold a news conference on the flight Sunday.

The vehicle, called the Low Density Supersonic Decelerator, was testing methods for slowing big, heavy spacecraft hurtling into the thin Martian atmosphere.

In this June 30, 2013, file photo made by firefighter Andrew Ashcraft, members of the Granite Mountain Hotshots watch a growing wildfire that later swept over and killed the crew of 19 firefighters near Yarnell, Ariz. Ashcraft texted the photo to his wife, Juliann, but died later that day battling the out-of-control blaze. canyon where they were killed.

A competing report from the state’s occupational safety agency, however, blamed managers for failing to see that the town of Yarnell was essentially doomed and said they should have pulled the crews back hours before the deaths. The agency fined the Forestry Division $559,000 for failing to pull the crew.

The lack of clarity about mistakes – and what lessons might be learned – left firefight-

ers with little to go on as they examined training and policies in the past year. The fact that all the firefighters with the crew died makes it impossible to understand their decision-making. One member of the crew was alone as a lookout, and survived, but was so far away he doesn’t know why his fellow firefighters made the decision that led to their deaths.

The state has made minor adjustments to its firefighting guidelines.

asked.

The Yarnell Hill Fire was triggered by a lightning strike on a brush-covered mountaintop on the afternoon of June 28, 2013. The next day, crews were sent to fight the fire, but it wasn’t considered a major problem and some were released.

But as night fell, the fire grew and officials decided to call in more resources — including the Granite Mountain Hotshots. They arrived early on June 30, and headed into the hills surrounding the small former mining town.

At mid-afternoon, weather reports of a strong thunderstorm boosted fears that winds would shift and send the fire back toward Yarnell – and the 19 Hotshots deployed to the area. As the fire made its move, Granite Mountain superintendent Eric Marsh and crew Capt. Jesse Steed decided to head back to Yarnell. That’s when the flames whipped into the canyon, trapping the crew.

A 20th member of the Hotshots, acting as a lookout, made a dash to safety.

Dugger Hughes, a battalion chief who oversees a Hotshot crew for the Northwest Fire district in southern Arizona, said not much can be learned from the fire because no one knows the thinking of Marsh and Steed.

Iraq forces launch push for insurgent-held city

By RYAN LUCAS and QASSIM ABDUL–ZAHRA The Associated Press BAGHDAD – The Iraqi government launched its biggest push yet to wrest back ground lost to Sunni militants, as soldiers backed by tanks and helicopter gunships began an offensive Saturday to retake the northern city of Tikrit.

There were conflicting reports as to how far the military advanced in its initial thrust toward Tikrit, the hometown of former dictator Saddam Hussein. Residents said militants were still in control of the city by nightfall, while Iraqi officials said troops had reached the outskirts and even pressed deep into the heart of Tikrit itself.

What was clear, however, was the government’s desire to portray the campaign as a significant step forward after two weeks of demoralizing defeats at the hands of insurgents led by the al-Qaida breakaway Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The militants’ surge across much of northern and western Iraq has thrown the country into its deepest crisis since U.S. troops withdrew in December 2011, and threatens to cleave the nation in three along sectarian and ethnic lines.

Iraq’s large, U.S.-trained and equipped military melted away in the face of the militant onslaught, sapping morale and public confidence in its ability to stem the tide, let alone claw back lost turf. If successful, the

Tikrit operation could help restore a degree of faith in the security forces – as well as embattled Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who is fighting to keep his job.

Saturday’s fighting began before dawn with helicopter gunships carrying out airstrikes on insurgents who were attacking troops at a university campus on Tikrit’s northern outskirts, Iraqi military spokesman Lt. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi said. The government forces had established a bridgehead on the university’s sprawling grounds after being airlifted in the previous day.

Sporadic clashes continued throughout the day at the university. At the same time, several columns of troops pushed north toward Tikrit from Sa-

marra, a city along the banks of the Tigris River and home to an important Shiite shrine, a senior security official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media.

By sundown, Lt. Gen. Ahmed Abu Ragheef, a commander in the Salahuddin Operational Command, said a column of troops had reached the edge of Tikrit, while another had secured an air base that previously served as a U.S. military facility known as Camp Speicher.

The governor of Salahuddin province, Ahmed Abdullah al-Jabouri, told The Associated Press that troops pushed into Tikrit itself, reaching as far the provincial council building.

However, residents reached

by telephone Saturday evening said militants were still in control of Tikrit, a predominantly Sunni city of more than 200,000, and patrolling the city’s streets.

They confirmed the clashes around the university, and reported fighting between the Islamic State and Iraqi forces to the southeast of the city as well. Some residents described black smoke rising from a presidential palace complex located along the edge of the Tigris River after army helicopters opened fire on the compound.

They spoke on condition of anonymity out of concern for their safety.

Many locals had already fled the city in anticipation of a government assault, said another Tikrit resident, Muhanad Saif al-Din.

PHOENIX – It was the worst loss of life for U.S. wildland firefighters in eight decades, a tragedy that killed 19 members of a Hotshot crew during an out-of-control inferno in a brush-choked canyon.

The fire prompted a strong sense of unity among everyone involved in the days after the blaze as dignitaries traveled to the site to remember the fallen and a promise to learn from the tragedy. But one year later, few changes have been implemented among the state’s fire crews as a result of the deaths, despite an investigation that uncovered a series of communications breakdowns that doomed the 19 men and a second that blamed fire managers.

Firefighters in other parts of the country have also been unable to incorporate specific changes prompted by the deadly incident into their training, largely because Arizona investigators have been unable to reach any consensus about fault in the deaths.

The Arizona Forestry Division found that fire managers overseeing the Yarnell Hill Fire did not make major mistakes and that it isn’t clear why the Granite Mountain Hotshots left a safe zone and walked into the

The investigation by the state forester called for testing new devices that track crews using global positioning satellites and a communications protocol requiring firefighters to tell managers when weather conditions change. Forestry officials also distributed new instructions on how ground crews should coordinate with new, large flame retardant-dropping aircraft, such as the one that was circling but unused when the Granite Mountain Hotshots were trapped.

Marshall Krotenberg, the safety agency’s lead investigator, told the Industrial Commission of Arizona in December that there should have been officers to ensure firefighters’ safety, including a planning section chief and a division supervisor. “There was no plan to move people out of the way,” he said during a hearing.

Dick Mangan, a retired U.S. Forest Service safety official who has investigated wildfire fatalities, cited the organizational mistakes as crucial errors and criticized the new communications guidelines as mere clarifications of standard practices. He also dismissed the use of GPS systems, saying the devices would be overlooked during fast moving fires such as Yarnell. “A GPS unit would have transmitted to who?” he

suspect that the Value Line dudes are duds. But their reports on common stocks are well-composed and above average for content and clarity.

Most brokers won’t mess with converts for three reasons: 1) The market is thin, and fewer than 700 issues are traded. There’s just $163 billion in convertible issues outstanding. So by comparison, the $320 billion market cap of Microsoft is twice as big as the entire convertible market. So there’s not much profit in this sector for the brokerage industry.

2) Therefore, the spreads between trades are huge, and clients are easily ripped off.

Lehman Brothers had a convertible trader called “Jock the Ripper” for obvious reasons. Advest had a convertible trader we called “Mack the Knife” because he’d cut your client’s heart out every time you placed a trade.

3) Investing in convertibles is significantly more complicated than stocks and requires a fairly strong math background. Unfortunately, 50 percent of brokers are below average, leaving out half the industry, and 48 percent of the remaining 50 percent prefer to peddle variable and indexed annuities or load mutual funds.

OUR VIEW

Those who serve deserve the best we can give them The recent deaths of Marine Lance Cpl. Stephen Hancock, 20, of Coal City, and U.S. Army Pfc. Aaron Toppen, 19, of Mokena are sober reminders that serving one’s country as a member of the military is not easy or safe.

Being in the military is risky right from the start. Injuries occur during basic training. There’s the loneliness of separation from loved ones and the terror of combat if deployed.

Once home, these men and women face post-traumatic stress syndrome, which can lead to vivid nightmares, substance abuse and depression.

The risks don’t end there. According to the Department of Veteran Affairs, other potential hazards include: • Metals, such as shrapnel, that remain in the body after injury • Traumatic brain injury caused by explosions • Contaminated water • Side effects from certain military vaccinations and medications • Infectious diseases • Diseases from animal bites and/or saliva • According to a 2012 Suicide Data Report from the Department of Veterans Affairs, an estimated 22 veterans died from suicide each day in 2010.

• The National Center on Homelessness Among Veterans reported that in 2009, an estimated 107,000 veterans were homeless.

This should not be.

These men and women risked their lives – and their future health and happiness – for us and the freedoms many of us take for granted, instead of cherish. Talk to any veteran.

Chances are, he or she could add a few more dangers to this list and share personal stories to illustrate them.

It was overwhelming to see the reception that Stephen and Aaron received from our local communities when they were brought home to be laid to rest. Yellow ribbons were tied around trees and lamp posts, marques on local stores were changed to offer prayers and condolences to their families, and thousands lined the streets with American flags in their hands and tears in their eyes, to honor hometown boys who gave all.

It was a proper and fitting tribute. But care cannot only be shown and provided when our service men and women return after they have given all.

Those who serve in the military deserve the best physical and mental health care possible, an issue we hope our lawmakers take more seriously and provide more oversight for in the future.

On a more personal level, we can send care packages and letters to our troops who are serving, to remind them the risks they shoulder to guarantee our freedoms aren’t in vain.

Or give a simple handshake and a heartfelt “thank you” when you see an active-duty military member or veteran.

We enjoy freedoms citizens of other counties can only dream about. This is the least we can do for those who defend that freedom.

The silly season endures for U.S. elected officials Speaker John Boehner is in a real pickle.

His caucus is in constant disarray.

He frequently is unable to forge compromises, even within his own party.

As a result, he can’t make deals with the Democrats in Congress or the president of the United States. So what can he do?

Speaker Boehner decided to sue the president for “doing his job.”

This is yet another in an endless line of “red herrings” – the dragging of a dead fish across a trail to distract hounds from pursuing the fox – that Republicans have dragged across the path of progress.

They’ve mastered the misleading and irrelevant.

And some partisan pundits and their allies in the media too eagerly follow the false trail rather than reporting how congressional Republicans are standing in the way

VIEWS Donna Brazile of what the American people want.

Most leaders want a legacy of getting something done; Boehner apparently wants a legacy of getting nothing done.

Some Republicans leaders in Washington are secretly pleased to paralyze our government, to bring it to a grinding halt, as we have seen them do again and again. Twice Boehner has brought the United States to the brink of default to force, not a budget compromise, but a surrender to the far right extremists in his party’s base.

When Republicans officeholders say Washington is broken, they are not complaining about it.

They are bragging about it – because they broke it.

If you can’t win an election, the next best thing is to foot-drag so the changes and reforms people voted for can’t get passed.

The list of popular items Republicans are holding up is long: closing corporate tax loopholes, putting higher education within reach of all, mandating background checks for gun sales to catch the mentally unstable, raising the minimum wage to a living wage, providing unemployment checks when there are still far more job-seekers than jobs ... all basic, common-sense measures to restore our economy.

Yet they oppose all.

Republicans have held up the nominations of our ambassadors, creating a backlog so serious it has interfered with the president’s efforts to constrain the advance of terrorists in Iraq.

Perhaps Boehner’s biggest

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ELWOOD NOT TO BLAME FOR TRAFFIC WOES To the Editor: As an Elwood resident almost daily I use CenterPoint Way to get to the west side of Joliet.

When CenterPoint Joliet was developed it must have been assumed that all traffic would come from I-55. No consideration was made that traffic would come from I-80 via Illinois Route 53.

To enter CenterPoint the trucks must be north bound on Center Point Way (Patterson Road) from Millsdale Road. Exiting CenterPoint the trucks must go south on CenterPoint Way. Therefore, truck traffic not using I-55 either goes through Elwood, Route 53 (Chicago St.) to Laraway Road or illegally on Schweitzer Road, Millsdale Road or Manhattan-Arsenal Road.

Because many of these truckers get off I-80 at Route 53 they use Laraway Road and discover they are coming from

the wrong direction to enter the facility. Therefore they make illegal turns or illegal U-turns to come from the right direction.

This also happens when they exit the facility and find they cannot exit northbound. I see illegal turns every trip to and from Joliet either on CenterPoint Way, exiting CenterPoint or the favorite stop has become Millsdale Road and Brandon Road.

I suggest that CenterPoint Joliet makes this facility more entrance/exit friendly for the truckers or designates an area at some place on their vast property holdings for these truckers to turn around for the safety of all motorists.

By the way, have you experienced the “truck jam” at I-80 and Route 53 most days sometimes backing up to Mills Road or farther?

Don’t place the blame on Elwood for this problem. Take a look at what CenterPoint Joliet and the City of Joliet have done

to create this nightmare.

HEALTH INSURANCE TAX BAD FOR SMALL BUSINESS To the Editor: I’m a manufacturers’ rep for heating and ventilation equipment, and my business has been around since 1957. Along with other small companies here in Illinois and throughout the U.S., it’s part of the lifeblood of this country. If members of Congress don’t do something to stem the tide of harmful taxes like the new HIT, I don’t know how we’ll keep going.

The HIT, or health insurance tax, will impact my peers in the small business worked via health insurance premiums.

This tax will fall directly on the health insurance companies but will be passed along to policyholders. The amount of the increase is currently estimated at $500 per employee, but it

could very well go up even higher. Unless Congress acts the HIT will lead to less hiring and even job cuts. Some businesses will likely have to raise prices, so the tax would have a major domino effect.

I look at the situation with health care, Social Security, and Medicare, and I just have to shake my head. Rather than continuously saddling small businesses with new costs, our government should be looking at those who fraudulently

received benefits for which they weren’t eligible. It’s unfortunate that many don’t have health insurance, but I object to relying on small businesses to fund health care.

This health insurance tax must be stopped, so I urge our elected officials to vote for HR 3367, which will provide a two-year delay until a long-term solution can be found.

Republican leadership continues obstructive acts • BRAZILE Continued from page 35 obstruction is on immigration reform – another thing he nonsensically blames President Barack Obama for, saying his followers don’t trust the president, so why do anything?

The Republican Party leadership behaves worse than hyperprivileged teenagers on a bad day.

They have an excuse for everything, and blame everyone but themselves.

If Boehner brought immigration reform up for a vote, it would probably pass because enough Republicans support it to pass it with the Democrats’ help. Boehner refuses to allow a vote because he is bowing to the hard

right-wing, no-compromise tea party Republicans who want our government largely abolished.

Boehner’s lawsuit against the president has very little chance of succeeding. So what’s behind it? As outgoing Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann said on Fox News, “What we can do is impeach the elected official.”

To bring that about, Republican leaders engaged in extra-constitutional measures to thwart Obama from carrying out the voter’s mandate.

Put aside the partisanship, read between the ideological lines, study the history of the separation of powers debate, and one is forced to conclude that Bachmann, Boehner and others, in trying to make Obama bow to their agenda, employed measures beyond

the Constitution’s authority to do so. Nothing was off-limits, including shutting down the government itself and willfully bringing the nation to the perilous edge of financial default.

Now, this.

After five years of Republican obstruction, Obama has been forced to turn to issuing executive orders to accomplish what the gridlocked Congress refuses to do. Executive orders are an old and Constitutionally tested way of doing business. Obama himself taught Constitutional law. White House lawyers have treaded carefully, at his direction, to verify the orders’ lawfulness. By contrast, President George W. Bush’s lawyers basically told him that our laws did not apply to him in the security arena,

and he issued more executive orders than Obama.

A study by the Brookings Institution of all the presidents found that they had to go back to Grover Cleveland to find one who issued fewer executive orders than Obama.

Some analysts believe Boehner is bringing the lawsuit to head off tea party Republicans pressuring him to order impeachment proceedings, a “cause” so outlandish it would energize those who voted for Obama in 2012 to vote Republicans out and end this nonsense.

Boehner apparently got the idea from a column written by my colleague George Will, who is famous as a baseball expert, but less so as a Constitutional law expert.

Even Will acknowledges that courts have traditionally

refused “disgruntled legislators” standing to sue the president.

As Rep. Mark Pocan, representing Wisconsin’s 2nd Congressional District, said, “Speaker Boehner is allowing the tea party tail to wag the dog. ... Unfortunately, this Republican-controlled House of Representatives has no intention of actually governing and will continue to block any effort by President Obama at the expense of our constituents.” And the American people will continue to pay the price.

Kalitta edges Schumacher for best Top Fuel time

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – It’s been a great season so far for Doug Kalitta in the NHRA’s Top Fuel series.

Despite winning only once early in the season at Gainesville, Kalitta headed into this weekend’s O’Reilly Auto Parts Route 66 NHRA Nationals leading the Mello Yello drag racing points standings by 157 points over Antron Brown.

Although he is still seeking his first NHRA world championship in the class, things have been going great so far for the veteran from Ypsilanti, Michigan, who ranks among the best all-time in career victories in the Top Fuel Division.

Kalitta earned his fifth top-qualifying time of the season and 41st of his career when he turned in a 3.767 seconds in 327.43 mph in Saturday night’s final qualifying round at Route 66 Raceway.

Seven-time champion Tony Schumacher looked like he was going to emerge with the top qualifying time of 3.775 and 325.61, but Kalitta followed him in the same lane and earned the top spot for today’s round of 16.

“I was sitting back in the staging lanes and it was pretty exciting,” said Kalitta, who has been in eight championship

Top Fuel driver Antron Brown revs his engine Saturday during qualifying at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet. rounds this season. “Everybody that was running seemed to be going low. So I think the fans got a good session out of that one.

“I’m just real happy that we were able to keep things up front with the Mac Tools Car.

I’m pretty fortunate to have a ride like I have right now. That thing is running strong and I’m just trying to make the best of it.”

The veteran has enjoyed success at Route 66 and hopes to carry Saturday night’s mo-

mentum into today’s competition.

“Chicago has been a great place for us and I’ve won here two or three times. I hope to get back to the finals and try to get past whoever. It will be exciting out here tomorrow and I’m

just really looking forward to it.”

Schumacher, who won last week’s competition at New Hampshire and also is the defending champion at Route 66 Raceway, moved up from fifth place in the final round.

Brown, the 2012 world champion, settled for third place with a 3.783 and 312.42 while first-day leader Brittany Force had the fourth-best mark, 3.791 and 324.51, which she carried over from Friday night’s round.

Steve Torrence (3.791, 321.96), Richie Crampton (3.792, 324.2), Spencer Massey (3.793, 302.28) and Khalid alBalooshi (3.833, 315.78) rounded out the top eight qualifiers.

Shawn Langdon, who ranks third in points and is the defending champion in Top Fuel, settled for the 12th-best qualifying mark, just behind the lone Illinois qualifier who’s left in the event, TJ Zizzo.

Two other veteran Illinois drivers both came up a bit short of making the final field of 16 racers. Chris Karamesines was 15th and Luigi Novelli was 16th through round three.

But the both of the 50-year veterans in the sport fell out of the mix in Saturday night’s finals. Crampton moved all the way up from 15th to sixth in the final round to earn his spot.

DeJoria also qualifies for Funny Car despite missing Friday’s qualifier with illness

By TIM CRONIN Shaw Media Correspondent

• Sunday, June 29, 2014

JOLIET – Perhaps it was the rainbow over the east end of Route 66 Raceway during the third round of Funny Car qualifying.

Alexis DeJoria ran toward it in her Funny Car, and while she wasn’t the fastest driver on Saturday, at least she was running. That was a far cry from Friday, when she was stuck in her hotel room.

“It was the worst food poisoning of my life,” DeJoria said. “Yesterday wasn’t a good day. I didn’t feel right.

So, safety first. At least I was able to make the two runs today with my team.”

Missing a day means missing two qualifying runs, and that puts the pressure on for at least one solid pass of the two available on the second day.

DeJoria delivered in the afternoon, her run of 4.142 seconds, and a top-end speed of 307.23 mph, getting her to Sunday’s finals in the 17th Route 66 Nationals.

However, DeJoria is well back in the pack, 13th, and will face 16-time season champion John Force in the first round.

Tommy Johnson Jr. is the top qualifier, running the only sub-4 second 1,000-foot pass of the weekend in his final run.

The 3.999-second lap, accompanied by a speed of 317.19 mph through the finish line speed trap, edged him ahead of Robert Hight, who couldn’t surpass his 4.026-second clocking of Friday night in either attempt Saturday.

Johnson is the 10th Funny Car driver to break the four-second mark since the move to 1,000 feet a few years ago.

“Personally, I didn’t think we could do it,” Johnson said.

“But the guys were swinging for the fences. We’ve been close for months, 4.02, 4.02,

4.03. We had an opportunity to tune from one night session for another, instead of one a week.”

Hight qualified third, behind Del Worsham after sitting in first through the opening three rounds. Worsham ran in 4.023 seconds in the fourth round.

At the other end of the field, Barrington’s Bob Bode Jr. made the finals on his last pass, but Beecher’s Dale Creasy and Grant Park’s Justin Schriefer failed to advance.

Neither Creasy nor Schriefer managed a good 1,000-foot run in their four

laps, and Creasy’s car suffered a fuel-line fire in his final run.

He emerged from the car, which was briefly engulfed by a fireball, unscathed, but it was an expensive explosion.

“Your first instinct is to get out of the car,” Creasy said. “The initial fire was big, and then there was smoke in the cockpit. I was in a hurry to get out and my belt got caught. So I sat back down and told myself to relax. The [fire] trucks were there and I knew I was safe.”

Creasy suffered minor

burns in a larger fire in Edmonton a few years ago, so he’s experienced in emergencies.

Not that one wants such experience, but he wants to know why the fire happened.

“I don’t know what it was,” Creasy told ESPN. “As soon as I jerked the wheel, there was fire in the cockpit.

I thought, ‘I guess I’m done.’”

Force moved up to fourth after a 4.036-second lap, but thinks there’s more in his car – somewhere.

“We’re trying to get consistency in this car we don’t have,” said Force, who has one win this season.

Personally, I didn’t think we could do it. But the guys were swinging for the fences. We’ve been close for months, 4.02, 4.02, 4.03. We had an opportunity to tune from one night session for another, instead of one a week.”

Johnson the man to beat in Pro Stock Seeks first victory at Route 66 Raceway after posting top qualifying time

By TIM CRONIN Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – Allen Johnson has won three NHRA Pro Stock races this year. He’s won 23 career titles. He won the season championship in 2012.

But he’s not triumphed at Route 66 Raceway.

Sunday, he has another chance, and perhaps his best one, for he’ll come into the Sweet 16 head-to-head competition with the best qualifying time.

Johnson’s 6.603-second time in his final run on Saturday was off the 6.574-second clocking that earned him the No. 1 qualifying position in the 17th NHRA Route 66 Nationals, but it was still the best time of the session, the third time in four laps was the fastest over the weekend.

The other time?

“I had a fresh set of tires on, to see what they were like,” Johnson said, explaining that the switch to the playoff-style Countdown a few years ago changed the mindset of leading teams.

“In the old days, you wouldn’t do that at all,” Johnson said. “But it makes you better.”

Johnson needs to be fastest in his pair four times Sunday to capture the title. And there will be no experimenting.

But there will be a bit of a difference in the opening round, because the nitro-powered cars will run down the track first.

Both Johnson and Erica Enders-Stevens have won three races this year, but Enders-Stevens, who won in New England last week, not only has momentum but has the points lead.

Johnson is third, 196 points in arrears, with Jeg Coughlin Jr. between them.

“Three first-round losses explain that,” Johnson said. He’s also running a new car this year, a Dodge Dart – at least the body looks like one – that now, halfway through the season, is broken in, so to speak.

With Johnson and Enders-Stevens 1-2 in quali-

Pro Stock driver Jeg Coughlin Jr. does a burn out Saturday during qualifying at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet.

I had a fresh set of tires on, to see what they were like. In the old days, you wouldn’t do that at all.

But it makes you better.” – Allen Johnson, NHRA Pro Stock racer fying, they’re on the opposite side of the bracket in the head vs. head eliminations.

Johnson, a native of Greenville, Tennessee, faces Mark Hogan of Dubuque, Iowa, while Enders-Stevens, now calling New Orleans home, runs against David River of Maquoketa, Iowa, in the first round.

Much of Saturday’s drama was at the back end of the field, Larry Morgan of Newark,

Ohio, was on the outside looking in entering the final qualifying session.

He ran in the second pair, and posted a time of 6.695 seconds, bumping Kevin Lawrence of Palos Hills and moving to 14th place.

“I burned the clutch up, but at least we got in,” Morgan said. Lawrence, who had run 6.798 earlier, was up next, and failed to surpass the 6.768 time

that Hogan had established earlier, and which settled as the 16th-best time.

Lawrence’s run was 6.847 seconds, so his earlier time of 6.798 left him 17th, three-hundredths short, and the only one in the Pro Stock field not to advance to Sunday.

He gets $1,500 as a consolation prize, while Sunday’s winner in the category will collect $25,000.

The afternoon session was effectively a test run for Sunday’s racing, which begins at 11 a.m. With the sun beating on the track, the surface temperature was well over 100 degrees, more than it was for the evening session.

That made Johnson’s afternoon lap of 6.619 seconds, even on the new tires, more indicative of what he’s expecting Sunday than the evening run.

Eyes top spot in Mello Yello standings after strong qualifier

Carlos Huetas of Colombia celebrates Saturday after winning the first of two IndyCar Grand Prix of Houston races in Houston.

Dale Coyne Racing’s Huertas gets first win 23-year-old rookie from Colombia tops IndyCar Grand Prix in Houston

By JENNA FRYER The Associated Press HOUSTON – Moments after Colombia wrapped up its victory over Uruguay in the World Cup, a trio of Colombian drivers headed to the rain-soaked podium at the Grand Prix of Houston.

One by one, Carlos Huertas, Juan Pablo Montoya and Carlos Munoz unfurled their yellow, blue and red flags in a celebratory Saturday for their country.

It was the first all-Colombian podium in IndyCar history.

Huertas, a 23-year-old rookie, used strategy to grab his first career victory and a win for Plainfield-based Dale Coyne Racing. He was followed by Montoya, in his highest finish in this year’s return to IndyCar, and then Munoz, who was moved to third-place when Graham Rahal wrecked Tony Kanaan on an aborted final restart.

It put Montoya, a former champion who also raced in Formula One and NASCAR, on the far right of the podium next to a pair of young drivers who grew up idolizing him.

“Look, it’s just like beating any other driver,” Huertas said. “You guys, the fans, they know what he has done.

They keep reminding us. It just shows the level of the series, if

I do a good job, I can beat guys like that. My objective is to beat all the drivers and I treat them all the same.”

Stoic and unemotional, Huertas insisted he was thrilled with the victory and the footnote he and his countrymen had on the big day for Colombia.

But Montoya and Munoz were adamant the day was historic.

“I think today is the first day in motor racing in the world that three Colombians are on the podium, it’s unbelievable and it’s exciting and, in my opinion, they’ve got a good shot in World Cup as well,” Montoya said.

Munoz preferred to be sticking in Houston for Sunday’s second race of the doubleheader weekend. It was an unpredictable and wet race through the temporary street course at Reliant Park.

Originally scheduled for 90 laps, IndyCar decided right before the start to go to a timed race at 1 hour, 50 minutes because the conditions would take too long to go the scheduled distance.

The Dale Coyne team used strategy to get Justin Wilson and Huertas to the front, but Wilson eventually had to pit for fuel, and Huertas assumed the lead with just over seven minutes to go.

JOLIET – Eddie Krawiec entered this weekend’s O’Reilly Auto Parts Route 66 NHRA Nationals in second placed in points in Pro Stock Motorcycle, 37 points behind Harley-Davidson teammate Andrew Hines.

So far, Krawiec, the NHRA champion in 2008, 2011 and 2012 positioned himself well to challenge for the top spot in the Mello Yello standings after recording the best qualifying mark heading into Sunday’s competition at Route 66 Raceway.

He set a track record with a 6.872 at 194.86 on Friday and maintained that edge during Saturday’s competition.

He had the best efforts in all four qualifying rounds this weekend.

This is his fourth race in a row where he was the top qualifier heading into Sunday and his initial time that he earned the top qualifying spot at Route 66 Raceway.

Krawiec, who won earlier this season at Atlanta, meets 2010 champ LE Tonglet – who made it in on his final qualifying run – in Sunday’s initial round.

Competitors need to win three times in order to reach the finals.

“Today was a little hotter, a little more humid and not ideal,” Krawiec said. “The track was great all day, so hats off to the NHRA crew and Chicagoland. The track was working and the motor-

cycle was working good, everything.

“I’m glad to have a good, consistent motorcycle that is being a little more predictable and is going straight and is actually a joy to ride.”

Hines, another three-time world champ, settled for the seventh-best qualifying mark while Hector Arana, Jr., (6.941) who’s number three in points, earned the second qualifying spot.

Other top qualifiers were Scotty Pollacheck (6.943, 193.4) and 2013 champion Matt Smith (6.943, 192.11), who ranks fifth in points.

Hector Arana (6.959, 192.99), Jerry Savoie (6.959, 192.36), Hines (6.983) and John Hall (6.991), who’s fourth in points, round out the top eight qualifiers.

Slammers cannot hold back Grizzlies in 17-3 loss

stop Max Casper mercifully ended the inning for Joliet.

“It seemed that everything I threw up there, they were hitting. That happens to every pitcher at some time. I just tried to get through it and go out in the third inning to try to eat up some innings,” Hermsen said.

Gateway, which entered the series hitting .235 as a team, put three more runs on the scoreboard in the top of the third inning. Waldrip started with a double to right field. Pinch-hitter TJ Bennett singled to score Waldrip. Vasquez, a former Slammer, hit a two-run homer to left, his second of the series and fourth of the season, to finish the scoring.

“It’s almost like déjà vu. The starting pitching gets us in a bind in the first few innings, so we have to do a better job with the starters. They’ve got to go

in and compete a little bit better, and we can’t keep giving up these big innings,” Joliet manager Jeff Isom said.

Right-handed reliever Travis Reboulet entered the game for the Slammers in the fourth inning. Seigel greeted him by driving his first pitch over the center field wall for his sixth homer of the season and a 13-0 Gateway lead.

Seigel was 6-for-6 with two homers and five runs batted in. Bennett and Vasquez added RBI singles in the inning to increase the Gateway lead to 15-0.

The Slammers scored two runs in the bottom of the fourth inning. Grant DeBruin singled to center. Jose Garcia reached on an infield hit. Hernandez doubled home both to make it 15-2. Gateway starter Dejai Oliver left the game after surrendering the double.

One bright spot for the Slammers continues to be DeBruin.

He entered the game hitting .336, good for ninth in the Frontier League.

He finished with two hits, and he scored Joliet’s third run in the sixth inning when he came home from third on a groundout by Seth Granger to make it 15-3. DeBruin finished the game hitting .340.

Casper, Joliet’s regular shortstop, pitched the ninth inning and surrendered a home run to Vasquez, his second homer of the game and fifth of the season to make it 16-3. Wing followed with a double to left and Seigel’s single scored Wing to make it 17-3.

Joliet allowed 56 runs in past five games

By MIKE FITZGERALD Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – The Frontier League West Division leading Gateway Grizzlies continued the recent trend of scoring early and often against Joliet starting pitchers, hanging an 8-3 loss on the Slammers before 3,286 people at Silver Cross Field on Friday.

The Slammers have given up 56 runs in the past five games, and they have lost four of them.

“It’s not good. We have to do a better job with our starting pitching. We’ve been in most of the games, but tonight we were coming from behind and it was too big of a deficit,” Slammers manager Jeff Isom said. “The good thing is our offense has responded. We’ve been in these ballgames. We have to do a better job of having the starting pitching give us an opportunity to win.”

The Grizzlies (26-13) struck first in the top of the first inning when third baseman Niko Vasquez homered to left-centerfield to make it 1-0.

Slammers’ starter Greg Billo threw 27 pitches in the first inning and 69 overall.

Billo, a Sandburg product who was selected in the 28th round of the 2008 draft by the Kansas City Royals, just signed with the Slammers (1521) on Wednesday.

Gateway, which pounded out 15 hits, added to its lead in

the top of the second inning when Ben Waldrip singled, Madison Beaird walked and TJ Bennett singled to load the bases with no outs. Billo threw a wild pitch that scored Waldrip to make it 2-0. Billo then induced Michael Johnson to pop out to shortstop before giving up an infield hit to Kale Kiser. Vasquez grounded into a double-play to end the inning.

The Grizzlies chased Billo (0-1) in the top of the third inning after he gave up a single to Landon Hernandez followed by a double to Michael Wing. He walked Richard Siegel to load the bases before giving up a one-out walk to Beaird that scored Hernandez. Joliet’s Sam Moore relieved Billo and struck out Bennett before Johnson reached on an error by Slammers’ second baseman Danny Hernandez that scored Wing to make it 4-0.

Billo pitched two and a third innings giving up four runs, three earned and eight hits.

“Tonight was Billo’s first outing for us,” Isom said.

“He’s had a little bit of time off. There was rust there.

They had one home run off of him which was solid contact, but there wasn’t a lot of solid contact off him in those eight hits. Guys were hitting balls off the handle and getting hits which was frustrating, but that was the majority of the night for him.”

BOWLING

Valenta narrowly misses first professional title victory

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com Brian Valenta is one of the few Professional Bowlers Association competitors who use the two-handed delivery.

But the 29-year-old performer from Lockport has struggled on the pro tour following a successful amateur career.

Earlier this month, however, Valenta experienced his best-ever showing in a PBA event and just missed winning a title in the process. Competing at the PBA Badger Open, Valenta went right down to the wire against Bill O’Neill in the finals.

After Valenta got two strikes in the 10th frame, O’Neill duplicated that feat to claim a 243-235

victory over the seventh-year pro. That marked the first time Valenta has made a television appearance in a PBA Tour event, on CBS Sports Network.

The Strike ’N Spare product earned his spot in the finals after beating PBA Hall of Famer Pete Weber, 204-190, in the semifinals. He beat Marshall Kent, 236-165, in the round before that

after opening with a 237-132 win over another hall of famer, Mika Koivuniemi.

Valenta had competed in four other tour stops this season but hadn’t yet finished in the money before making the trip to Oklahoma. He had three top-10 finishes heading into this season, with his best-previous effort, fifth, coming at the 2011

Chameleon Open.

His $5,000 paycheck was his second-best earnings at a PBA event behind the $6,000 he won at the 2011 U.S. Open.

Valenta, a USA Junior Team member in 2003 and 2005, led Lindenwood University to the 2005 Intercollegiate title and won the singles championship the next year.

JOLIET – The Slammers will be glad this week is over after the Gateway Grizzlies mauled Joliet, 17-3, Saturday before 2,194 in attendance at Silver Cross Field.

The Grizzlies hit Joliet Slammers’ starting pitcher Jake Hermsen for nine runs in the top of the second inning and three in the top of the third inning to take a 12-0 lead. The Grizzlies (27-13) added three more runs in the fourth inning to increase their lead to 15-0.

The Slammers (15-22) entered the Frontier League contest against the West Division leading Grizzlies having surrendered 56 runs in their past five games.

The top of the second inning started with Slammers’ second baseman Danny Hernandez dropping the fly ball hit by Gateway’s Michael Wing. Richard Seigel followed with a single and Xavier Macklin walked to load the bases. Hermsen (1-1) struck out Ben Waldrip looking before Madison Beaird laced a two-run single to right field.

Michael Johnson followed with a triple to right that drove in two runs. Kale Kiser’s single to left scored Johnson. Niko Vasquez doubled to left and Landon Hernandez took a ball off of his body to load the bases for Wing. Wing’s sacrifice fly to left scored Kiser.

Seigel followed with a threerun homer, his fifth of the season, to right field. Macklin’s ground out to Slammers’ short-

NHL DRAFT

Bollig a casualty of salary cutting

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com PHILADELPHIA – Somebody had to go. That somebody was Brandon Bollig.

The Blackhawks created some wiggle room under the salary cap Saturday by dealing Bollig to the Calgary Flames for the 83rd pick in the NHL Draft. Bollig had just signed a three-year contract extension with a cap hit of $1.25 million a year in March and had just bought a condo in River North.

“It definitely came as a shock,” Bollig told the Calgary Sun. ‘‘I wasn’t expecting it, but it’s obviously part of the business.’’

Bollig played all 82 games during the regular season, reinventing himself from an enforcer to a reliable, defensive-minded fourth-liner.

He had seven goals and seven assists, but he struggled down the stretch and in the postseason. He was a healthy scratch four times during the playoffs.

With the salary cap at $69 million and the Hawks about a half-million above it enter-

Left wing Brandon Bollig was traded to the Calgary Flames on Saturday by the Blackhawks. The Hawks got the 83rd-overall selection in the 2014 draft in return. ing the draft, general manager Stan Bowman had to free up space. And Flames GM Brad Treliving said he liked the idea of adding Bollig’s toughness and Stanley Cup experience to his young roster.

Bowman said Rockford

center Brandon Mashinter, a 6-foot-4, 220-pounder with 23 NHL games under his belt, could get a crack at Bollig’s role.

“It’s always tough when you trade a player who has been a regular player for you,”

Bowman said. “You have to make tough decisions these days. We’re not the only team that will go through that.”

And the Hawks likely aren’t done. They didn’t make any other personnel moves during the draft, but with free

agency starting Tuesday, only 21 players signed and less than $800,000 of cap space, there still work to do. But while some GMs laid their cards on the table at the draft, Bowman played it close to the vest. He wouldn’t say if he would be a major player in free agency or if he was planning to dump more salary. He wouldn’t discuss any trade talks and wouldn’t say if Patrick Sharp was trade bait or untouchable.

The only thing he would say for sure was that Brandon Saad and Teuvo Teravainen weren’t going anywhere and that Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane are going to sign massive extensions soon. The rest remains to be seen.

“We’ve got some ideas,” Bowman said. “At this point, nothing concrete. We have several different possibilities that we’re going to pursue. I think every team has the same game plan, where they have some ideas of players they want to add or things they want to do.

And they’re not all going to happen, but we’ll see where it goes.”

Viciedo homers in Sox’s win

By IAN HARRISON The Associated Press TORONTO – The White Sox are in position to wrap up a rotten road trip on a positive note.

Dayan Viciedo hit a threerun homer, Chris Sale pitched seven innings and the Sox beat the Toronto Blue Jays, 4-3, Saturday, just their third victory on a season-long 11game trip that ends Sunday.

“We’ve got some scrappers, we’ve got some fighters,” Sale said. “After a road trip like this that hasn’t really gone our way, to keep fighting and to keep staying in there and just going forward really says what kind of guys we’ve got in here.”

Zack Putnam got the final four outs for his first save as the Sox won back-to-back games for the first time since winning two straight over San Francisco on June 17 and 18.

They had dropped 11 of 14 before the consecutive victories.

“It was nice to be able to lock it up and get us two in a row here,” Putnam said.

Held in check through the first six innings by rookie right-hander Marcus Stroman, the Sox took the lead with a two-out rally in the seventh inning. Jose Abreu doubled, Adam Dunn walked and right-hander Dustin McGowan came on to face Viciedo, who drilled a second-deck home run on the reliever’s first pitch.

“We’ve been going through some rough times,” Viciedo said through a translator.

“It’s always good to come through.”

The White Sox’s Dayan Viciedo tosses his bat after hitting a three-run home run in the seventh inning Saturday in Toronto.

McGowan (4-3) blew his second straight save opportunity, leaving Blue Jays manager John Gibbons to rue his decision.

“My thinking was, [Stroman] pitched his butt off,” Gibbons said. “I don’t want him to lose the game right there. That’s the way it goes.

But you always look back on things like that. I had a plan and it just didn’t work.”

Viciedo also connected in Friday’s 5-4 victory and has gone deep four times in his past 15 games against the Blue Jays. The Sox are 7-1 this season when Viciedo homers.

“Viciedo just flat out won the game for us,” Sale said.

Viciedo’s drive helped the Sox overcome a two-run homer by Toronto’s Darin Mastroianni in the fourth. Recalled from Triple-A Buffalo before the game, Mastroianni followed a two-out walk with a drive to center off Sale for his first hit of the season. The ho-

mer snapped a 0-for-14 slump.

The Sox extended their lead with a run in the eighth.

Singles by Adam Eaton and Gordon Beckham chased McGowan, who was replaced by Aaron Loup.

Alexei Ramirez, who had started all 81 games this season but was not in Saturday’s lineup, made it 4-2 with a pinch-hit RBI single.

Coming off a no-decision in Baltimore in which he gave up a career-worst 11 hits, Sale (71) was more effective against the Blue Jays. The left-hander allowed two runs and four hits, walked a season-high five and struck out six.

“I felt like I had good stuff,” Sale said, “I just didn’t know where it was going for the most part.”

Javy Guerra got one out in the eighth but left after walking Dioner Navarro.

Eric Surkamp came on to face pinch-hitter Adam Lind, who struck out on three pitches.

NATIONALS 3-7, CUBS 0-2

Cubs swept in day-night doubleheader The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Adam LaRoche and Wilson Ramos homered, Blake Treinen earned his first major league win and the Washington Nationals beat the Cubs, 7-2, on a rainy Saturday night to sweep a day-night doubleheader.

Gio Gonzalez pitched two-

hit ball over seven innings in the opener for a 3-0 Nationals victory.

In the night game, Washington tagged Jeff Samardzija (2-7) for six runs over five innings to salvage a four-game series split.

LaRoche led off the second with a long drive to right for his 11th homer, and Ramos

connected to start the fifth, sparking a four-run rally that made it 6-2.

Making his fifth major league start, Treinen (1-3) allowed two runs and four hits in five innings. The righthander was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse as the 26th man on the roster for the doubleheader.

Addressing their grief

Camp helps children learn how to cope with the loss of loved ones

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com

K

athy Cherven passed the bucket around the circle of children. It was Damerion Morris’ turn. He reached inside and pulled out a strip of paper.

“Anger,” read Damerion, of Broadview.

“Oh, that’s a good one,” said Cherven, a bereavement counselor with Joliet Area Community Hospice. “Let’s talk about anger.”

Conjure up images of summer camp and one might think of swimming, campfires and “Red Rover,” not sadness and mourning.

But under the canopy of playing games, making crafts and swimming, grieving children at the Journey Children’s Grief Camp learned to verbalize and cope with their loses.

Fifteen children, ages 7 to 13, participated in the camp, which ran from Monday through Thursday. Some children attend more than once and that’s fine, said Mary Ann Burns, bereavement coordinator at Joliet Area Community Hospice since 2003.

“A grief camp,” Burns said, “is a safe place where youngsters who have lost a loved one meet other children who have lost a loved one. They are not alone in their grief.”

Chloe Szczepanski, 11, of Lockport, after playing a yarn toss game on Day One, summed it up this way: “We’re all connected.”

Her mother, Lynda Szczepanski, said Chloe, who is not one to show her emotions, had several losses at once: her grandfather and her dog died, and a big sister left for college.

Both Lynda and Chloe participate in other JACH bereavement programs, which is how they heard about camp.

“Her counselor thought she could become more open if she was around other kids her own age that had losses,”

Lynda Szczepanski said.

During the four-day camp, children played with “feeling face” cards, labeled emotions with colors, created collages, sculpted, released emotions by throwing clay against a plastic-covered wall, painted memory bricks, drew grief maps, fashioned support shields, wrote letters to loved ones, decorated memory boxes, selected scents that reminded them of loved ones, whispered secrets to a therapy dog and participated in a balloon release ceremony.

“Adults don’t always realize that children grieve, too,

and that there are so many emotions attached to grief. It’s not just sad or glad,” Burns said. “There may be anxiety, vulnerability, fear of the future and jealousy that another child still has her dad. Maybe a child has lost a cousin and he’s angry about that.”

The children also learned how to set boundaries in the grief, as well as to respect the boundaries of others. Julie Blackburn, bereavement counselor and art therapist, let the know children it’s good to ask permission before hugging and that they also had the right to refuse a hug.

“Sometimes we don’t want to be touched and that’s OK,” Blackburn said Burns said JACH started participating in children’s grief camps in 2004 – partnering with Camp Fire U.S.A. and Stronghold in Oregon, Illinois – to provide a six-day overnight camp for the Treasure of Life Grief Camp at Stronghold after a tornado in downstate Illinois.

The camp continued until 2010 when JACH began one in Joliet. Since 2011, Joliet Area Community Hospice has partnered with Galowich Family YMCA to offer the grief camp.

Jeri Smith, JACH volunteer coordinator for eight years, has sent her son, Cooper, 8, to the children’s grief camp two years in a row.

Last year, Cooper’s maternal grandmother died.

This year, it was his paternal grandfather. Cooper was close to both his grandparents, Smith said.

“He even helped give his grandmother her insulin shots,” she said.

Last year, Cooper didn’t discuss his sorrow. Smith said the only time Cooper mentioned missing his grandmother was during those times Jeri was disciplining him. Compounding the challenge of helping Cooper open up was the fact Smith was grieving, too.

Smith thought grief camp was a good idea for Cooper and she was right.

By the time camp had ended, Cooper could talk about his grandmother. It was Cooper’s idea to return to camp this year.

Smith feels Cooper has learned valuable skills that will benefit him the rest of his life in any “death” situation, including divorce and job loss. For now, Jeri is thankful Cooper is handling the deaths of his grandparents better.

“We talk about grandpa and grandma being in heaven with God now and how we spent lots of good times with them,” she said.

During the “Burdens of Grief” game that Cherven led, the children, sitting in a circle with the counselors, discussed their various emotions. Inside the middle lay a stack of different sizes of rocks.

After Damerion selected “anger,” Jesse Frederiksen, 8, of New Lenox chose a large rock to illustrate how anger felt during the initial days of his loss.

“And how does it feel now?” Cherven asked.

Jesse picked up a pebble and grinned.

“I got over it,” he said.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

More than one way to find 13

CELEBRITY CIPHER

The first sentence of “1984”

by George Orwell is, “It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking 13.”

When you bid to a grand slam, there is normally not much point in counting losers, because you cannot afford any.

You might as well only try to find 13 winners.

In this deal, which 13 tricks should South hope to take in seven hearts after West leads the diamond three?

The bidding had a modern tinge. South’s four-club rebid was a splinter, showing at least game-forcing values with a singleton or void in clubs. North then control-bid (cue-bid) his diamond ace, which East doubled to ask for a diamond lead. And South optimistically took a shot at all of the marbles.

Outside hearts, South has six winners: four spades, one diamond and one club. He could rely on the diamond finesse and try to take six trump tricks. But East’s double strongly suggests that that finesse will fail.

Instead, declarer should play for seven trump tricks. But which seven?

South should use dummy’s winners to remove East’s trumps and take three ruffs in his hand.

However, he has to be careful with his communications.

Declarer wins with dummy’s diamond ace, ruffs a club with a high trump (queen, king or ace), returns to dummy with a heart, ruffs another club high, leads a heart to dummy, and ruffs the last low club. Then, after a spade to dummy’s queen, declarer draws trumps and claims. It is a classic dummy reversal.

ADVICE Family’s hard times knock teen off track Dear Abby: I’m 17 and a junior in high school. My family has recently been hit with hard times. We lost our home and are living in a motel, and I am struggling with depression. I haven’t attended school since last September. However, I am feeling well enough to the point where I’d like to start attending school again.

I would be willing to take more than six periods and, if necessary, I would be willing to attend summer school. I want to graduate from high school, but I don’t know if that’s possible.

My mother has never been OK with any decisions I have made, so I don’t know how to tell her. I don’t want to disappoint her, but I do want to do this. Any advice you are willing to give would be appreciated! – Anonymous Girl Dear Girl: You are clearly an intelligent young woman, and your determination to finish school is something that should

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips be supported by all of the adults in your life. If possible, go back to the school you were attending and talk with a counselor or the principal about your family’s circumstances – including your struggle with depression. Whether you can resume studies at your former school may depend upon whether the motel you’re staying in is within the district.

But a counselor should be able to help you to transfer if that becomes necessary.

Dear Abby: I am pregnant with my third child. There has been a large gap between baby No. 2 and baby No. 3. With my second child, my husband and I were just starting out and used hand-me-downs. But now we are established and can purchase

items to suit our preferences.

Many well-meaning family members and friends have started inundating us with hand-medowns (some ask first; others are just dropping things off). I really don’t want any of these items. However, I don’t want to seem ungrateful or rude. How do I kindly tell these people I don’t want their hand-me-downs? – Conflicted In Philly Dear Conflicted: Thank the donors warmly for their thoughtfulness and generosity, and say you already have all the things you need for the new baby. It is not necessary to allude to the fact they are “hand-me-downs.” If the person insists on giving them to you anyway, donate them to a charity such as a homeless shelter. (Warning: To avoid possible hurt feelings, do NOT include them in a yard sale.)

Simple surgery can ease pain of trigger finger Dear Doctor K: I have a painful trigger finger on my left hand.

What caused it, and what can I do about it?

Dear Reader: The term “trigger finger” may conjure up visions of sharpshooters and hunters – people who sometimes are too quick to draw their guns. To doctors, however, “trigger finger” refers to a condition that occurs when the finger briefly locks and then suddenly releases as you try to bend or straighten it. This often causes a snapping sound.

Perhaps surprisingly, our fingers contain no muscles. Rather, muscles in the hand control our fingers. Those muscles are attached to tendons, which, in turn, are attached to our finger bones.

Different muscles and tendons pull on the finger bones, causing the fingers to move.

Trigger finger affects the tendons. A tendon is like a small rope of tough fibers. In a healthy finger, tendons glide smoothly through a tunnel. Like the tendon, the tunnel is formed of tough fibers attached to a finger bone.

That tunnel keeps the tendon close against the bone.

Sometimes the tendon develops a knot (nodule). Other times

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff the lining covering the tendon swells, narrowing the space through which the tendon passes.

In either case, the tendon no longer glides smoothly through the tunnel. The result is pain and a catching feeling. When the tendon catches, the tunnel can become (more) swollen and irritated, creating a vicious cycle. Sometimes the tendon becomes completely stuck in the tunnel, and the finger can’t be straightened or bent. (I’ve put an illustration showing what happens in trigger finger on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

People who are older than 40 and who have rheumatoid arthritis, gout or diabetes seem to be more prone to the problem.

There are several things you can try to break the cycle of inflammation and pain. These include wearing a splint or taking anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen or naproxen. Your doctor can inject a steroid in the area around the tendon, reducing the inflammation and swelling of

the tunnel.

If your symptoms don’t improve, surgery is an option.

A quick and simple procedure allows the tendon to glide through more easily. Usually, this restores finger movement right away. You may feel tenderness, swelling and discomfort for one month or longer. Full recovery can take several months to a year.

A patient of mine, a man in his 60s, developed a trigger finger.

Since he was a writer and spent a lot of time at a keyboard, he had a problem. He joked: “I don’t get an idea that often. When I get one, I need to type it quickly, before I lose it.” Simple measures didn’t solve the problem, but simple surgery did.

A few months later he came to the office for a follow-up visit.

When I asked him how his typing was, he said: “I’ve got a terrible problem. Now I have no trouble typing. That means that on a day I don’t write much, I’ve got no excuse.”

Fast foods can be healthy Dr. Wallace: This is really important for me. I’m 16 and have “pigged out” all of my life. I’ve finally come to the conclusion that I no longer want to be obese. I promise to start my program to be the “new me” the day I see my letter and your reply in my newspaper. So please tell me the healthiest and best way to lose weight. I’d like to shed 40 or 50 pounds.

Please don’t tell me to see a doctor or a nutritionist because I really can’t afford it. It’s just a matter of you advising me what to do, and then me doing it. I’d be grateful for your help. – Lynn, South Bend, Ind. Dear Lynn: The healthiest and best approach is to safely lose about one pound of excess weight a week through a combination of a varied, well-balanced diet and moderate exercise. It took 3,500 extra calories to gain one pound of body weight. Do a little research to find out your ideal weight and number of calories needed daily to maintain that weight, and then consume 500 less calories per day.

It took time to add your extra weight, and it should take time to get rid of it. Start your day with a nutrition-filled breakfast. Not only will it get you going in the morning but breakfast also should supply you with onefourth to one-third of your daily nutritional needs.

By skipping breakfast, you may, in fact, find it difficult to lose weight since you may be tempted to overeat later on. If traditional breakfast foods bore you, try a healthy, openface sandwich of peanut butter, honey, granola and banana, layered on raisin, whole wheat or oatmeal bread.

Drinking enough fluids also is necessary for good health. To keep your body

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace in top working order, you need to drink about eight glasses of fluid a day.

Mineral water and club soda always are good calorie-free thirst-quenchers.

But to add important nutrients to your diet, try unsweetened fruit juices, skim milk or tomato or vegetable juice, all of which are deliciously low in calories.

Between-meal snacks are the downfall of many dieters, but if you choose tasty, low-calorie treats, snacking can actually be quite healthy. Since dark-green and yellow vegetables are filled with vitamins, try snacking on cut-up raw broccoli, carrots and zucchini.

Instead of reaching for a sugar-filled cookie or piece of candy, fill up on whole-wheat crackers and a wedge of low-fat cheese, which is a good source of much-needed calcium.

And fresh fruit is always a good snack choice.

Of course, exercise also should figure prominently in your fitness shape-up plan.

Recent studies show that exercising after a meal speeds up your metabolism and allows your body to burn calories even faster than working out on an empty stomach. For example, a brisk 20-minute walk after dinner can really help keep you fit, while a 30-minute run can burn off 300 calories – the equivalent of an averagesize cheeseburger.

So, Lynn, I’ve done my part. Now it’s up to you to do yours, and I know you will!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – The opposition you face today will only serve to strengthen your resolve. You are on an upward spiral, and nothing can hold you back as long as you maintain a positive attitude.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You may not want to venture too far from home. The people you encounter while out and about will seem particularly touchy and irritable. You will be better off keeping a low profile.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – If you are not doing what you have always dreamed about, ask yourself why not. Consider putting more energy into improving your credentials and boosting your profile.

More Content Now It’s not quite a staple of American cinema, but road trip movies certainly have legions of fans. They usually feature a couple of guys or a bickering family, but the genre got a big positive bump a couple of decades ago when Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis hopped in a convertible and ran from the law in “Thelma & Louise.”

Sarandon is back behind the wheel in “Tammy,” this time accompanied by Melissa McCarthy in a twogals-hit-the-road comedy.

Co-written by McCarthy and her husband, Ben Falcone, and directed by Falcone, it’s the story of down-on-herluck Tammy (McCarthy) who, after a series of personal setbacks – including discovering the philanderings of her husband – decides to leave her small town and start really living life. Her only two problems: a lack of funds, and the fact that her traveling companion is her often drunk, usually randy grandmother Pearl (Sarandon). Both women spoke about the film last week in Los Angeles.

Ed Symkus: Susan, you’re 67 and Melissa is 43, and you’re playing her grandmother. How were you approached to take the part?

Susan Sarandon: Ben and Melissa called me, and prepared me for the script. Then I got the script, and thought it was a lot of fun, but I was doing another movie, and I didn’t quite understand what reality we would be in.

So we had another call about it, and I was very excited about the way they worked.

We texted little pictures of possible looks and figured out the age thing – actually Pearl wasn’t much older than I actually am, she just doesn’t have my makeup and hair people. But [Ben and Melissa] are both incredibly talented, and it would be very different. I didn’t quite know what was going to

Melissa McCarthy (left) and Susan Sarandon star in the road-trip comedy “Tammy.” happen, but I thought, let’s go for it.

Melissa McCarthy: On one of our first phone calls, you said Pearl seemed like a little old granny with glasses and a crocheted sweater and an up-do bun, and I said, “Oh, no, she has raging problems with alcohol, and she sleeps around.” And you said, “OK, we’ll be fine.”

Sarandon: I’m bad at math, and I didn’t think about the ages. It actually makes sense if my character had a baby at 16, and the character of my daughter had a baby when she was 16. It’s totally possible. I was just happy to be able to do something like this. It’s very liberating to look that bad. We just accentuated everything that you would normally hide, so it didn’t matter if I was sweaty or the lighting was bad. That was kind of cool.

Ed Symkus: Melissa, you wrote the script with your husband. Where did the idea for the story come from?

McCarthy: Ben came down-

stairs one morning, just having woken up and said, “I had a weird dream. You go on a road trip with your grandmother and she drinks and she sleeps around. I’m gonna go write that movie.”

And I said, “All right.”That dream was around six years ago, and that’s how it began.

He always says things, and I say, “That sounds great!”

I just agree with him, and it all works out. But we had been working on it for years.

I don’t know if we ever really thought it could make the next step. But then when it started happening, and we found out that certain actors were actually reading it, I was physically coming apart at the seams. It’s still dreamy to me.

Ed Symkus: Susan, did you have any thoughts of “Thelma & Louise” while you were making this?

Sarandon: We actually didn’t think about it till we started doing press. They brought a car and I said, “You know, this might

remind people of that other movie.” But it was so different.

Ed Symkus: Have there been plans for you and Geena Davis to work together again?

Susan: I’d love to work with her again. They had kind of knocked around some ideas of a sequel to “Thelma & Louise,” but they were so ridiculous. I remember at one point saying, “But what would WE do?”

And somebody said, “You’d collect a big check is what you’d do.”

But I really don’t know how you would resurrect them. And even if we did, we’d have to do something sitting down because when we’re standing, Geena’s like a foot taller than me. That’s why the car worked in “Thelma & Louise.” We were kind of on the same level.

I’m shrinking and she’s still 6 foot 1.
